Got my SCD today YAY!

[Black Tiger]

I got my SCD today along with my DUO-RX controller.  Played Dracula X and Snatcher today.  The seller gave my FEOE Kabuki-den complete, no OBI though.  Most likely sell or trade it, haven't decided yet.  Ordered me a Supergrafx to SCD cable since mine didn't come with it.  I can't wait to play Ys...never played 3 or 4.

Kabukiden is the best game for the system and completely playable for English speakers using this detailed guide and English manual:

Because it was so popular, they printed a crapload of copies, so it's only worth <$5.


If you are having trouble playing Dracula X or any other game, just swap out the RX pad and throw it in the garbage.

@Black Tiger --- Got it and thanks  I will do just that. LOL. Yea I like my RX controller. 
As for Kabuki-den it is $3-$25 w/o s&h, avg. $11....flat-rate where I live is $7 so total will likely be $18.  But I want to try it before I sell/trade.

It's one of the most common games, so it's difficult to sell at any price and has been selling on eBay lately for $1 - $5.

So you're better off keeping it, even just as a music CD, since it has one of the best soundtracks. The back page of the English manual has a track list.

My figures are averaged from 40 listings from ebay as of today.  The only way to get it cheaper would be if you lived near me or trade.

Update:
Got my backup SCD today.  Was able to play Dracula X (loading didn't take 2 minutes), finally was able to enjoy Sapphire as the backup didn't get stuck.  Wouldn't load AV Tanjo though.  Just waiting on the damn grease to start the overhaul on the other SCD.  I swear my overseas packages arrived faster than a small tube of grease.  I get my 15 games tomorrow.  I ordered: Ys 1-4, Graduation 1, 2 and Miki, Yawara 1 and 2, Princess Maker 1 and 2, Prince of Persia, Brandish, 3x3 Eyes, Macross: Eternal Love, and Dragon Ball Z.

Try burning faster I use 10x on a macbook using freeware, it's CD burner is notoriously finicky with slow speeds and the super CD ROM is pickier with burns than a duo but burning 10x with most CDs (never Memorex though those are just crap I blew through 20+) I get a perfect result 99% try finding alternate Roms or re rip if you are making the copies legitly.

My copies loaded up fantastic except now the Games Express games won't and I at least got some gameplay out of them on the junk system.  Even my real game won't load.  Wonder if the system card is busted.  Not really a big deal.  Been playing World Heroes 2 and Altered Beast.  The latter simply to see if I could use the everdrive as a system 1.0 card.  Been wondering if WH2 is 6-button.

Thanks for the support.  I am trying a handful of  "backups" AV Tanjo, Sapphire, Dracula X.  I use crappy memorex cds and they all get stuck fairly early in the gameplay (loading transition), however I got my Taiyo Yuden cds today and see no improvement.  I used turborip then imgburn.  I wonder if the lens has to be cleaned and if so how to safely do that.  I purchased 2 different brand lens cleaners, but am looking for a quick fix to play my games until they arrive.

I know it sounds crazy but you may wanna try with a different ac adapter. That fixed the issue with my console. Wouldn't take backups that worked before, would struggle with some originals and the picture had some diagonal bars.
